Too Large For a Conscience.
LONDON TELEGRAPH.

One anecdots must relate about Lewis
who was very impulsive boy, and when
he once had made statement which he
believed to be correct he stuck to it un-
willing to yield single point. The
teacher in the little hill school we will call
Miss Hotchkiss. She had been lecturing
because of some misdemeanor on the
part Of some boys, especially dwelling on
the fact that every one had conscience.
She also stated that a conscience could
not be seen, but might be felt, when sud
denly hand was raised and shaken to at
tract attention. No attention was paid
to the hand for she noticed that Lewis
Weld was the owner, and she didn't care
to argue with Aim before the school.
Pretty soon her talk was interrupted
with:
'sMiss Hotchkiss! Miss Hotchkiss
I say teacher, 1 saw a conscience one
time!'
'Be still Lewis, she said, no one ever
saw conscience"
81 did, know I did! butcher showed
it to me.'
"Be still, Lewis and don't interrupt me
now; I'll talk with you by and by
and she went on with her talk TO the
school.
Pretty soon the hand came up again
while Lewis became uneasy in his seat
and fually shouted:
"Miss Hotchkiss; Miss Hotchkis
made mistake; t'wan't the conscience
saw, twas the bladder

The recent attempt by French aeron-
auts to reach great height has not been
productive Of any particular scientific
results. The balloon In which the ascent
was made reached an altitude of over TO-
600 feet without the occupants of the
car experiencing any i'll effect except a
passing faintness on the part of one of
the voyagers, who quickly recovered from
the attack. But it was instrumental in
bringing to light the almost forgotten
fact that when a similar attempt was
made twelve years ago and an altitude of
$4,000 feet was reached three out Of the
four aeronauts succunbed to the strange
atmospheric conditions snd DIED before
they could descend. Perhaps score of
other intrepid voagers have gone to a
similar height and returned safely. Mr..
Glaisher, according to his own account,
reached an altitude of $4,000 feet (the
highest ever reached by any aeronaut),
becoming partly unconscious when about
$4,000 feet high and losing the power to
move his limbs even before he sank down
to the bottom Of the car. His compan-
ion was similarly affected, though not to
SO great an extent, being able to pull the
escape-valve cord with his teeth. From
the meagre reports which have been made
on this subject it would appear that but
few are dangerously affected before pas
sing the 10000 feet line. Yet something
depends on the season in which the as
cension is made and the atmospheric
conditions at the start. Above the lima
layas and the Andes heights of about 2o,-
600 feet hare been on several occasions
reached without any inconvenience. In
such cases, however, the ascent has always
been gradual. Could slower rate of as
cension be made practical it may be that
there would be no danger to life at the
as-yet unreached altitude OF nine or ten
miles

The Red River Valley Railroad.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10.-A special from
Winnepeg says tremendous excitement
was occasioned there to-day over the
filing of bill for injunctions against
the Red River Valley railway by the fed
eral government. This is looked upon
as the last straw and must lead to serious
trouble. The people are very indignant.
The local authorities, however, will relent
and the construction of the road will
proceed.

A new kind of nail, for attaching mold
ings and other light lumber, which leaves
no nail-holes, is made with a point at each
end and with an outwardiy prof Getting
head or shoulder midway between the
points. The nail is first driven into the
wood by the means Of a punch, which
straddles the protruding point and bears
on the head. When enough have been in

American Railroad Speed.

There is an impression this side of the
Atlantic that railway accidents In Am-ri-

travel which characterizes our cousins in

slowly than ours, and with g less average

''RuddygOre" has certainly proved a
success as presented by Manager Stet-
sons company at the Globe Theatre dur
ing the last week, and the indications
point to great popularity for this opera
with Boston audiences. The audiences
have steadily increased in numbers since
the opening night, and the several
scenes of the opera have been greatly
enjoyed, If the enthusiastic applause of
each performance may he taken as an
evidence upon this point. The music of
Sir Arthur Sullivan is given ut its best
by the singers of the company and the
musicians of the orchestra, and already
the leading numbers are caught up by
the audiences. There has never been
more care taken or a more lavish expen-
dlture made to present a Gilbert and
Sullivan opera than has attended the
production of ''Ruddygore" at the Globe
Theatre. and the elegance and good
taste which characterizes the stage work
in the opera, adds large share of the
pleasure afforded by the performances.
Ii rs not often that such a graceful group
of dancers is seen in comic opera per
Torrance as that constituted by the
principals of this company i'm the finale
of the first act, and Mr.. Phil Bronson
could give points to many professionals
of the ballet in the dancing of a sailor :
hornpipe. The novel effects made pos
sible by the introduction of the mean
descent system of electrical lights into
the theatre heighten the interest in the
second act, and the rich and historically
accurate costumes of the male chorus
singers afford a very pleasing feature of
the stage groupings. There seems little
doubt that the opera will command an
extended patronage from the local
plbli1. and II will continue
as the attraction at the Globe Theatre
until further notice, with the usual We'd

Strawberry Culture.

The correspondent of the Tampa
Tribune had some very good ideas on
this subject. But very few of the grow
ers have become ''bloated bondholders''
from the profits of this years crop.
Only those who got their berries into
market very early or have had first
class, extra fine fruit, have realized sat
isfactory prices. One grower of my ac-
guaintance received two cents as the to-
tai net returns from twelve quarts of
berries. Another realized one and one
half cents per quart for shipment of
twenty quarts. Such returns are very
dlscouraging. The trouble has H. that
too many inferior and gree cries have
been sent To market. Another thing Is,
that the shipments have been concen-
trated too much into two or three cities.
To remedy these it will be necessary
for the growers to produce larger and
finer fruit, be more careful in gathering
and sorting it for market. Fine. large
tirst-class berries, well ripened. will
usually command a price that will yield
a fair profit.
The rates for transportation are too
high. Ii costs now from twelve to fif
teen cents quart to send berries in re-
| frigerators by freight. They ought t.
go by express In refrigerators for ter
cents per quart If they could be SEN
at this rate to any of the Northern
cities east of the Mississippi, the crol
could be divided up So that there neeC
| not be such glut in a few markets.
As many growers as can possibly ii,
| so, should plan to get their strawberry
plants set out in July during the rain,
season. Then they might expect I,
have some very early berries that woul,
bring good price. w. G.. STEELE.

Inherited Tendencies.

Tho risk involved in the adoption of
infants of unknown parentage, IL Illus
trated in the case of Henry ID. Garrett.
He was taken from an orphan asylum by
wealthy and respectable people and
treated as a son. His moral and educa-
tional influences were in the direction of
an honorable life. His benefactors put
forth loving efforts to assist him. They
continued to aid him with money and
sympathy even after he Vas detected in
criminality. Yet now, at the age of
twenty-four, he is entering upon a sec
ond term in the penitentiary.
His record shows an innate preference
for crooked ways-an irresistible desire
to- exercise his criminal faculties. Where
an honest and dishonest method of ac-
complishing an object presented them
selves to him, his disposition was to
choose the dishonest. The latter to him
was the natural mode of doing things.
There is here another of the numerous
illustrations in real life of the main idea
which Charles Reade conveyed in his
Terrible Temptation, and which Gal
ton and other students of heredity have
demonstrated scientifically by carefully
collected data.
The famous Jukes family has often
been referred to as furnishing striking
example of inherited criminality And
tne STATEMENTS In regard To child, that
he gets this trait from his father or grand
father, and that from his mother, are
frequent in every household or neighbor-
hood. And yet large number of so
called intelligent people are stubbornly
oblivious of the important fact of hered-
ity. To them there is no particular diff
ference in babies. There have been two
instances in this vicinity of late years of
childless wives deceiving their husbands
into the belief that infants obtained from
others were their own. In one case there
We're several children thus added to
family. And a very peculiar family it
that while association and education
may do much, they cannot change the
nature of the individual Some homely
poet uttered a great truth when he said:
You may silver scour pewter cup,
10 will be pewter still.
